I have found it is very forgiving and used a lot on iffy stuff. I havent, but the airplane guys in my club use it. Part of my problem on this truck was that I used a different brand of paint(white) and primer, than usual and it didnt grab too well. I learned my lesson to just wait until I have time to get the right stuff. This build has been put off to the side while Im finishing the Brockway build. This truck still has too many things left to do to make it to the show on the 20th, so Im just focusing on the Brockway. Right after the show Ill get back on it.

tbill Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 looking good man! try some frog tape for delicate surfaces [it's yellow], someone on the board here suggested it, and I have used it with great results. I also use the Tamiya tape for thin lines, also works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorincebu Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Terry, Looks like you've come a long way in your modeling skills since I met you a few years ago. I like what I have seen of your builds here in this Forum. Oh a suggestion. If you are going to invest in a lathe and or a mill. Do not go to Harbor Freight. There is better stuff available out there Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an old WWII era lathe thats got too much runout to hold any kind of tolerance, but its good enough for hobby stuff. Its by far my heaviest modeling tool.
